I may be wrong! I often misinterpret lyrics and meaning. 🥲

Debuted at #1 with even bigger first day streams than "The Giver"

It's definitely "she's got away", the video I saw had lyrics captioned.

It alternates between she's got a way and she got away

Genius Annotation:

Here, Chappell subtly switches the lyrics of the prior line from “She’s got a way” to “She got away.” While it’s a fairly simple and minor change, the meanings are significantly different.

“She’s got a way” indicates that the muse has a charm and allure to her, which attracts Chappell.

In contrast, “She got away” suggests the girl is no longer in Chappell’s life, conveying a sense of heartbreak and longing.

The repetition and alternation of these lines after another symbolize a loop of the same emotions, fluctuating from captivation to yearning.

Thanks for clarifying!

In a way it feels like a good follow up to the Giver and from both tracks you can kind of see the direction she will be going on the new album.

I think all her previous work is better but i do enjoy this aswell.

Hopefully another number 1 for her.

One of the songs of the year for me already. Flawless. No notes.

She’s such a special talent for this generation.

I've given this a few listens now to see if it gets any better as a few of her other songs have taken time to click with me, but nah. This is average at best.

Loved the video, not really getting the hype over the song, it's OK but wouldn't call it amazing.

I love it a lot and the video is great, but the second half is where the magic happens. It's amazing how she pours so much emotion into just a few words and a great lyric.

I like this one. Good Luck Babe is still the only song of hers I find absolutely essential but I think this is my second favourite of hers to date. Agree that the second part really lifts it and I can see it continuing to grow on me

This is one of the best music videos of recent years, plus the song is great. A smash!!!

Completely obsessed with the Cocteau Twins and the Cranberries of it all. I was nervous after 'The Giver' felt more pastiche than a reference, but this works perfectly

I think the giver is fun, I enjoy it and I wouldn't say it's bad but I think people expect more emotional, unique sounding songs from her - I mean hot to go works and it's just a fun song she made because she wanted a dance for her live shows 😅 the giver and the subway aren't really comparable as they're both there to do different things, I like that she can switch between the two vibes

This has been instant love from first listen. I agree it really brings to mind Cocteau Twins and that 90s shoegaze/alternative sound, and I think it's wonderful we have someone using their starpower to harken back to this sound rather than imitate what's popular now. As much as The Giver fell flat for me, I do think this coming straight after confirms that she's not afraid to experiment which makes every release much more interesting.

I can't get into The Subway at all. Wasn't big on The Giver either. Good Luck Babe is such a superior song, these two feel like not on the same level.
